Ocala National Forest Road 58

The Ocala National Forest Road 58 connects FR 11 at the north end and the ONF 314-16.7 Trail at the south end of the trail in the northeast part of the ONF. The trail takes you along Talt Springs Island and allows rare views over the valley. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 3-foot deep mud holes after rainy days. Some obstacles require High Clearance and 4WD during the rainy season. The road is narrow and not wide enough for two vehicles to pass. The trail shares a few miles with the Tread Lightly! Four Wheel Drive Way (Florida's only Jeep Badge of Honor trail). All vehicles must be street legal. Ocala National Forest is in Florida, north of Orlando. It's known for its large areas of sand pine scrub forest. The Juniper Springs, Alexander Springs, and Salt Springs recreation areas have natural pools and canoe runs. Hundreds of lakes and ponds include Lake Kerr and the enormous Lake George.
